Kimmel weighs in on Louis C.K. flap

When it was announced that Louis C.K. would headline this summer’s Radio & TV Congressional Correspondents’ Dinner, the decision struck a nerve with some who found the comedian’s brand of humor too offensive. Fox News’s Greta Van Susteren even announced that she would boycott the dinner if C.K. remained the headliner.

During our recent sit-down interview with Jimmy Kimmel, POLITICO asked the late night TV show host for his thoughts on the incident and how it shaped his perception of his own upcoming gig at Saturday’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

Suffice to say, Kimmel isn’t a fan of Van Susteren’s take on C.K.

Watch the clip above and POLITICO’s full interview with Kimmel will be available on Friday as part of our coverage of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
